The learning process continues. Our axles are marked "4400 lb". As you probably discovered, bearing and other part numbers don't exist for 4400 lb axles.

So it's the springs that makes the rating, but the axles are actually 5200 lb ones which explains why the brakes are 12". Now to just verify the correct part numbers for bearings.
Am actually glad to find that we have 5200 lb axles. They are waaay stronger than what would have normally been used on our make and model.
The mud is a little clearer now. :R
